THE WATCHDOG’S $10 INVESTMENT
Monday 16 May
$4 Win – SCUFFY
Ballarat Race 8 Box 5 545m 5:04pm
TAB fixed odds: $1.90 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666538580/race/8
The Watchdog says : SCUFFY (5) has been racing well in much stronger company of late and with a sizzling 30.77sec PB here, he is expected to make light work of this line-up. There is very little pace drawn on either side, so he should be able to assume control quickly and then put a space in them in the middle stages.
$4 Win – HERE COMES LENNY
Shepparton Race 5 Box 1 450m 8:24pm
TAB fixed odds: $3 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666538581/race/5
The Watchdog says : HERE COMES LENNY (1) has only had the four starts, but he has won two in impressive style, and he is drawn to get all the breaks. He is armed with terrific pace soon after box rise, so from the favourable draw, he should hold the top and with the ability to carve out around 25.30sec, they will have their work cut out trying to reel him in.

Must Watch Race
Mixed Grade 4/5
Shepparton Race 8
450m 9:26pm
The Watchdog says : Group 3 Provincial Plate winner HENNESSEY (8) – a finalist in two Group 2 country cups as well – should be winning with ease in this class, while the powerful ERTUGRUL BEY (2) can run home into second or third spot.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
HENNESSEY (8) is one of the best provincial sprinters and he is expected to return to the winners list tonight. He has won here previously in a breathtaking 24.81sec and he looks very well graded. There isn’t a lot of genuine pace drawn directly underneath, so a clean getaway should see him cross at the bend and zip away as they turn for home. RAICHU (1) rises in class tonight, but he has come up with the inside draw and he beat a handy line-up at Ballarat last time, so with an even getaway, he can hold a top three spot initially and then hit the scoreboard. ERTUGRUL BEY (2) would have preferred a wider draw, but he is a powerful type, and he has turned in some tremendous performances of late.
